It was entertaining but at the same time a little too slow for my taste. Elena isn’t a very interesting character yet and I feel no emotional connections to any characters. Nothing really happened. I thought there would be more fantastical fun

standard misogynistic female relationships and kinda rape-y romanticized moments that plagued pop culture from the 1990s to the 2000s (not that it no longer exists)brookey8888's review against another edition

So this was just not good lol. First Elena Is so annoying and self centered. She’s not like other girls she’s better 🙄. She literally thinks every boy is In love with her. She’s also a terrible friend. Also Stefan had no and I mean not an ounce of personality so I don’t know why everyone wanted him. Also the show is so much better because they honestly changed everything. I wouldn’t really recommend unless you want to see the differences between the show and book or you just love the show.
